Bill Mitchell is one of the most relentlessly ownable pundits in the modern political landscape, a pro-Trump prognosticator that fires off half-baked facts and anecdotal analyses that he will defend to the fucking death against anyone who pops up in his mentions. Charlie Warzel of Buzzfeed once memorably described him…

In news far more unsettling than Papa John making an ass of himself on TV simply because it’s harder to pin on one specific chain, Bloomberg reports (via Fortune) that one of America’s biggest poultry producers, Sanderson Farms, is joining the shitty-pizza giant in “wondering aloud” whether NFL players taking a knee…

Matt Damon is famously one of Hollywood’s Nice Guys, a cheerfully smiling dude happy to pop in for a cameo for a friend or give helpful advice to younger co-stars. This week, for instance, he did the whole internet a solid, by giving an interview that got all of his uncomfortable takes on the current sexual harassment…

One of the big appeals of Netflix’s techno-horror anthology Black Mirroris that it always feels borderline plausible; Charlie Brooker and his team are experts at teasing out the implications of modern technology and finding the right ways to twist them into outright horror.

New Year’s Day is on its way, and with it, the usual efforts to recover from revelry-based ordeals of New Year’s Eve. Really, it’s the perfect day to curl up with a laptop, cruise over to Amazon Prime, and let Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell yell at you for a couple of hours.

Last night, Morgan Spurlock shared a lengthy essay about his own history of sexual misconduct, revealing that a woman accused him of rape in college, that he paid a settlement to a former assistant who he would call “sex pants,” and that he cheated on everyone he’s been in a relationship with.

Disney’s getting a whole boatload of new content with its upcoming purchase of 21st Century Fox, some of it more suitably “on-brand” than others.
